Either way, we should not be surprised by what Obama said in Prague about disarming America.

"I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals."Barack Obama October 22, 2007

Check out this commentry from Steyn (via Tim Blair):http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ODg3NjRmNTNhMTVhZjRhNWFiODVjOGI0NzQzOTY5YjQ=

A quote to give you the chills:""So we approach a state in which the planet's wealthiest jurisdictions, from Norway to New Zealand, lack any capacity to defend their borders, and the planet's basket-cases, from North Korea to Sudan, will be nuclear powers.

First, CB, NZ is not one of the world's weathiest countries. We just aren't. We're second-to-bottom of the OECD (just above iceland) on a per-capita basis, and on any kind of absolute basis we are way, way, WAY down the list.

Norway though, is the richest - per capita - country in the world , the #4 oil exporter, has an reserve army of 100,000, has israel-style compulsory military training, was a founder memory of NATO, runs, 5 Aegis destroyers, and 60 F-16s. They couldn't win against Russia, but they can sure do a fuckload of damage before the US Air Cav arrives.

Secondly, if NK wants to follow the Soviet Union and bankrupt themselves trying to build a bomb: be my guest!

The problem with the messiah is that he is trying to be darling to the world rather than being acting like a president (ie, be assertive). He is worried about his darling image rather than anything else even to the detriment of security and the economy. I wondered when is he going to cuddle up naked with Castro , Chavez, Kim Il Jong or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I thin the messiah is dying to get into those acts with those dictators.
